You can't blame the Cavs fans for writing things like this. They won so they have bragging rights.

Its better not to pay any attention to the poster. The poster only came around when the game was 3-3. You already know people like that. Congrats to lolawilliams though. Stuck with Lebron through thick and thin grin grin

Ezeli and Barnes messed up. Cant lie. it really hit me.

Did not watch it grin grin . I am still in shock that he ran through the warriors. I'll watch it when i am calm.Maybe by Saturday.

Congrats to him though for winning the ring for Cleveland. Hopefully, the warriors will be back in the finals.

I know why I harped on mentality and seizing the moment. Knowing what your team needs at any given time. Steph just didn't show it all season long and really neither did Klay.

Your best two scorers don't combine for 31pts in a Game 7 and you hope to get a W. Cleveland played their part but when you get outscored by 22pts by your opposite number 9/10 you lose the series. Sometimes you need to want it more. Did you see that block? M.J flu game scoring 45pts out of his team's 87, Dirk in 2011

You can't coach that.

If you want a Chip you don't go scoreless on your floor for the last 4 and a half mins
I couldn't agree more tbvh. I was just telling Donlittle he was being a tad too hard on Curry.

Perhaps maybe the defeat was easier to accept because It was my team's best player that let us down. Kyrie out played him today in a strange way.

Curry is guarding Kyrie and Kyrie has the confidence to still hit the jumper. The other wayround Curry has no confidence to hit shots he made for fun all season.

He will learn from it. Bron Choked aged 26 and was good for it the following year. Klay, Curry and Green are still quite young.

Don't excuse curry eruditor. I simply want the kid to be great. If james played like this in a 7 game series what would we say?

He choked. He was terrible. he played ugly. i hope he comes back with a vengeance next year. I can't believe he let kyrie outplay him.
I agreed that he choked but my point was that his choking was not as detrimental as the play of Festus (especially) and Barnes who were liabilities on both ends.

He will bounce back. He played this post-season with niggling injuries after the game 1&4 against Houston.

Kyrie is a great player, he actually kept his team in the game and save James' block on Iggy and just overall in the whole series, Kyrie was actually my game 7 MVP (since he played for the winning side, otherwise it was Green).

Mynd44, Eruditor, A40 will there be a new thread for the off season and next season?
I kinda agree with you and A40. I think 303 pages is enough for a new thread but then again we don't get that much traffic until P/Os.

Is Howard not better than Ezeli? They both suck at FTs, Ezeli passes better but Howard is a better scorer. Howard seems to be more healthy than Ezeli but Ezeli has better mentality.

2 sides of the same coin Ja re. I want WhiteSide grin or Anthony Davis.

Howard is not a bad idea. To be honest, i have always looks as warriors as a fragile team but they always surprised me and i forgot about the fear after 40 games . Howard might help under the rim which i think Bogut was really valuable for. I would pick Hassan Whitside over Howard though. That guy is definitely going places next season.

If Durant enter warriors,i don't see any team stopping them at all but warriors need a center man badly.

Clippers and Blazers will huff and puff. The real dogs are obviously SAS and OKC but if we lead the regular season again, both teams will cancel themselves out and we would have to battle either one of them.

Since it may be SAS this time around (Considering Pop is Pop), it won't be easy but we are good for another WCFs and maybe Finals.

In the east, I don't see much changing to compete with Cavs so they would probably show up again, only challenge is, the hunger won't be as much as it was this time around, as they have already broken the jinx.

It will be interesting.

Saying warriors had a great regular seadon, but its nothing when you have a 73_9 regular season without a ring.
But how did the warriors lost 9games in playoffshuh

They need to hit the reshuffle button but certainly work on their mentality. You just can't miss your final 9 shots in a Game 7 at home. You can't have your two best scorers shooting 30%. I even saw some people blaming Green on Twitter smh

They are young but I still feel like the Warriors didn't give it their all. You never quite know when next an opportunity like this would come just ask Harden and OKC

No rest + injuries ....we over worked for that record.!! This one that almost everyone has an appointment with the doctor. Banged up

We need solid trades...We practically have no offense rim attacker and no rim protector apart from Bogut. Threes shud be a plus not an entire system.. We shud have a backup plan always.

I still think their mentality was good. The only issue I had was that "over-self confidence" they showed after game 4. Even when they lost games 5 and 6, the general aura around the team was that they would still win somewhat.

Kerr said his team doesn't handle prosperity well and he should take a bulk of the blame for that. At game 6 pre-match interview, Kerr kept letting the journalists bait him into discussing a game 7. I don't know if I was the only one that noticed it, but I was like "Have you already lost this game?" In my mind.

I believe they will bounce back. Perhaps another 60+ win regular season and they would rest the key players games before the P/Os. I know nobody will care about MVP of the regular season again.

For what it's worth, Houston Rockets were once called Choke City before 94-95 but they bounced back. Your Mavericks too choked against Shaq's Miami and were stellar in 2011.

The Core of my team is still great barring injuries. I just need a better Centre and another SF.

He probably sees potentials that we don't see. Barnes is 23 I think and he was a very good college player.

I don't want to be too harsh on him, so let me see what GSW will do with him. I for one, have given up.

I will when i get home. I was not expecting CAVS to win this season at all. Warriors had it locked down before the Lebron/Draymond effect in Game 4.

Warriors will be back. the splash brother just need to play the same way they played during regular seasons.

If the warriors are not in the finals, my man KD will,depending on which team he lands.
